Red

Cover your eyes
Step in the clay
It's gonna rise
Everyday

Want to be right
Back as you were
Dawn of delight
Cracks as you turn

Run to your house
Cough in your shirt
Son of the cow
Daughter of earth

There's spit in your mouth
Worms in the mud
Birds flying south
And dirt in your blood

See from the ground
Stumble and bend
Reverse that frown
It's up there again

Where you could be
Asleep in the hay
There is a seed
Twinkling away

Be further down
Your comfortable place
Equally foul
Double the legs

The rush to your head
Is all of your germs
What you get wet
Ought to be burned

Clear yourself out
There's more where that came
Here is your spout
You horrible thing

Squint as you look
It's coming awake
If it feels good
It must be ok

See if you found
A diamond in space
It's wheeling around
So why the long face

Cover your eyes
Your secrets are safe
Doesn't disguise
The stink in your veins

Awfully bright
Spot in your heart
Does it feel nice
Want it or not

Ought to be right
Better to wait
For the surprise
Everyday
